Death post

William Le Vicky Pham Richard Baba Taylor humphry Melvin Abraham Melind Newman wrote "The Show Goes On: New sets due from Subllime, Nirvana; Pumpkin four continues," to illustrate bands continuing even though a member of the band is gone. The article portrays 3 incidents of this. Brad Nowell of sublime, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and Jimmy Chamberlin of the Smashing Pumpkin all died in a sense that they are not a physically a part of the band anymore. In Jimmy Chamberlins case, even though he was kicked out and replaced, but because of his court hearing, the band had to postpone their tour for a month. I think thatnewmans argument is agreeable, there may be even though Smash Pumpkin lost a member they were able to continue even though they were delayed for a month. In the article, "The Art of Dying" by Thomson and Graeme from Chronicle of Higher Education, the word death is used in a much more deeper sense. For a while now, the author has collected many music for his Death Playlist for his iTunes. The author talks about how many people believe music about death isn't that noticeable because death is a subject that nobody wants to talk about. A songwriter named Dylan is brought up in this article and he plays a significant role with the history of death songs. Dylan, at the age of 67, is still writing some good songs that involve death and mortality. He has been writing these types of songs since at a young age. One of his songs, for example, is called "Let Me Die in my Footsteps." One person who commented about this was named Mick Jagger. Jagger talks about how he sometimes disagrees with Dylan's points of view with death but how the songs greatly relate to it. He believes that it alright to be in the mood for a bit but going in for too far would not be able to go back. One would agree to that statement because as one listens to more and more of it, they start to dig into the lyrics along with the somber melody would surely bring the listener into the realm. Thomson states that as artist progresses through life they start to think more about mortality. Thus, they bring those thoughts into music. As each of us in society realize that they are aging, we would have a way to avoid it. For example by taking supplements for the body or moving somewhere that is better to live in. James Sullivan titled his article "Dead, ahead". The article deals with artists whose career continued and in some situations got better because of their deaths. Sullivan uses examples from many different genres from rap to country. Sullivan mentions Tupac as an artist whose career continued way past his death. Sullivan speaks about artists like Nirvana, BIG, the Beatles, and finally Elvis. Sullivan claims that Elvis is the most successful deceased artist stating "he still goes on tour three decades after his death" (Sullivan). Sullivan argues that artists have the ability to maintain a career even.after death due to things like the internet and the release of songs that were never heard before. He calls it an "act of self preservation" (Sullivan). Sullivan mentions a counter argument briefly when speaking about Tupac saying "in fact, conspiracy theorists argue he can't possibly be dead " (Sullivan). I personally feel that Sullivan makes a great point throughout the whole article. He makes claims that he back up with evidence that is undeniable. I think that Sullivan is right in the sense that deceased artists have the ability to maintain music careers even though they physically have no control.
